Speaker Bio Thad Bereday was Senior Vice President and General Counsel of WellCare Health Plans from 2002-2008. Thad’s legal career ended when WellCare was raided by 200 federal agents, setting off a decade long odyssey through the criminal legal system.  So began a grueling descent during which Bereday lost his job, his law license, his health, his family, and his freedom. He later received a presidential pardon. Today, he is an advocate for criminal justice reform and the possibility of redemption. Edmund W. Searby (moderator) is a partner at Porter Wright and an adjunct faculty member at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ School of Law. He is a former federal prosecutor in Florida and a Special Deputy Independent Counsel in Washington, D.C. He represented an executive (other than Bereday) in the criminal investigation of WellCare.   CLE Reading Materials ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ School of Law George Gund Hall Room A59, Moot Courtroom 11075 East Blvd., Cleveland, OH 44106 School of Law School of Law America/New_York public
